Real Madrid: Cucurella opens up on Lamine Yamal battle after El Clasico
Real Madrid defender Marc Cucurella has broken his silence on his personal duel with Barcelona winger Lamine Yamal following both sides' recent El Clasico.
Recall that Cucurella kept Yamal quiet throughout Real Madrid’s 2-1 victory at Camp Nou.
Speaking during Spain’s international camp, Cucurella was asked on COPE whether he had spoken to Yamal after the match.
The former Chelsea star was blunt, saying, “We didn’t speak; I don’t have to say anything. We won, I played a good game.
"That is it. I prefer to stay quiet, do my job, honestly, I played a good match."
Cucurella and Yamal are international teammates with the Spain national team.
The pair won the 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament in the summer, thanks to Spain's 1-0 win against Argentina.
